Mr. Mancke - Our Treasure
As you may have already heard all kindergarteners found a real treasure map waiting for us in our classrooms. Well, of course we read the map and followed to see where it led us! We found one of the best treasures Hammond School has ....Mr. Mancke! He invited us in to his cabin and showed us many amazing things. He wants us to return every other week so we can learn to be "Nature Detectives". The only requirement is that we bring our "tools" with us. Those tools are our five senses and our thinking brain. On occasion we will also learn how to use the natural resources around us to make things. This visit he showed us how to use five sticks to make a star that you can throw. We know everyone enjoyed learning how to put the stars together.
We look forward to many adventures with Mr. Mancke!

- While riding in the car, have your child look for familiar sight words on billboards and signs. If you keep a Magna Doodle or a small writing pad in the car, have them write the word when they see it.
- Choose a newspaper article and see if your child can spot one or two sight words at a time. Use a highlighter and count how many times the word appeared.
